What are the different types of abortion?

PLAN B

Plan B, often called the “Morning After Pill,” is a high-dosage birth control pill that women can take 72 hours after intercourse. It ends a pregnancy by preventing an egg from being released, interfering with a woman’s menstrual cycle, or preventing the egg from implanting in the uterus.

The Abortion Pill (RU 486)

RU 486 is a medical abortion procedure that involves a series of two pills that are taken within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The first pill you ingest will cut off the blood flow to the embryo and the second will induce labor.

SURGICAL ABORTIONS

The most common surgical abortion procedure is the Manual or Vacuum Aspiration procedure. This procedure involves using either a syringe or vacuum to suck the pregnancy out of your body.

The Dilation and Evacuation procedure combines vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage, and forceps. For this procedure, you are given a sedative and an injection in your cervix, while forceps are used to remove larger sections of the pregnancy. A curette is then used to scrape the lining of the uterus.
